This LED street lamp design is centered around 3 compact, flat, versatile LED modules that have a minimal impact on the visible skyline. The modules can be raised and lowered depending on necessity and are easily replaceable for quick maintenance. The minimal design is a nice alternative to today’s dull street lamp styles and is applicable to a variety of installations from sidewalks to racetracks.

I’m not a huge fan of terrariums or clustered pendant lamps on their own, but combine the two ideas and I’m on board! The 38 Series was developed from a technique where glass spheres are blown and then a multitude of cavities are introduced into them, intentionally intersecting and colliding within the sphere. Some of the cavities serve as planters with soil and others house lighting for a one-of-a-kind garden/light hybrid.

The KUGL light transforms the idea of lighting in the form of stationary objects into a mobile system of induction-charged units with an adorably unorthodox globe shape. Each ball features a flat, magnetic surface on it’s lower hemisphere that allows it to be mounted on any metal surface and twisted to achieve the desired directional light. After use, simply throw it on the docking station until it’s needed again. Genius!

Delight Lamp is a kitchen lamp that creates an intimate illumination for folks who enjoy homemade meal together with friends. As Xiao explains, “The design is generated based on people’s sensorial stimulation and behavioral demands.” The lights are controlled by a mobile app that allows you to control the intensity, color, direction as well as height of the illumination and creates a comfy atmosphere.

Its name might not make sense until you take a closer look at Lamp3′s wood legs, metal shades, and LED panels. If you’re still not catching on, it’s time to get your peepers checked! The concept is almost too simple, but it’s quite nice to look at.

Every year 15 million children die of hunger. 925 million people are malnourished. Every 3.6 seconds someone dies of hunger. These are just a few of the facts that inspired this thoughtful design, the Hunger Table. The multi-wood, pie chart table top represents these statistics so that those dining on it will be mindful of others starving around the world. It’s a tangible reminder of an easily overlooked problem and a great example of bringing awareness in a clever and impacting way.

A minimal mixture of circles and squares is what makes up the very simple and charming Snövsen desktop lamp by Danish design studio, MadeByWho. Four Danish maple wood pieces for support, a thin painted ceramic shade, and a single bright LED are all that go into the construction, making it cost efficient to manufacture and very lightweight. Leave it to the Danes!

The Stage is a lamp inspired by the acrobats who grace the circus. Their antics atop of the trapeze and their skillful executions go on to bear a striking resemblance in the way you interact with the lamp. Kisun has recorded an enigmatic video here, which compliments the sentiments of an aerial dance that the artists portray. Have a look…

Gotta love this minimal, interactive lamp design by Gergő Kassai. The Motion lamp’s bendable, ultra-thin body is composed of an OLED embedded in free-form silicone that makes it possible to twist and turn the lamp in any direction. The playful design will have you wondering why you can’t keep your hands off it!

Inspired by ancient art of origami, the Paper Lamp is a simple and beautiful design that is as fun to put together as it is environmentally conscious. The shade is made from sustainable and innovative bamboo paper that’s formed to the frame with wood pegs. The screwless, glueless wooden support is held together with interlocking parts that snap together and keep the structure sturdy.

Simply love this elegant amalgamation of glass and bulb to create a magical lamp. Cleverly titled Untitled Collaboration Work, the lamp sees the blossoming of a unique partnership between product designer Design-JAY and glass-blowing professional Yoowan Yang. Handmade glass, natural cork and 20 watt light bulb is all that they needed to create this beauty.

This idea was born in a backyard and will leave you wondering, “why didn’t I think of that!?” – The GRILLIT light attaches to any outdoor grill to provide instant illumination to the cooking space each time the hood is opened. Simply slide and twist the barrel to direct light where needed. It’s a great “set it and forget it” solution!

The Apollo Flashlight is an attempt to blur the lines between a flashlight and a table lamp. Most often flashlights lead a sedentary life, forgotten in some obscure kitchen drawer. However giving it the meaningful life of a regular lamp, not only enhances its functionality but also gives it a dual purpose.
